Casting

I researched into characters in Romantic Comedies/ drama and found that they is always the main couple and a few extras within the movie.
I cast my two main characters from two people that were within the sixth form.
Girl- Fran Rose- I needed to age ranges for this character. I needed a younger age group such as 15/16 and also needed an older age range of 20/30. This meant that I needed someone who could look young and old. This would be used with mise-en-scene but I also needed to be able to know that they would be able to play an older character. She has done drama so is good at acting and very reliable.
Boy- Lewis Wright- This character also needed to be able to play various age ranges. I wanted him to be quite smart and a little bit geeky as I am going to represent two characteristics. I want him to be the geeky boy. These two people have a very good connection as there good friends so I know they will not be embarrassed when needing to act together. This is really important as I don’t want to waste time when I’m filming.
I may also need some extras for my film but they will not need to do any acting as they will just be in the background of the films.
